Sumatra

1. Regional Context

Sumatra, with 60+ million people across 10 provinces, is a backbone of Indonesia’s natural resources and trade. It is also a critical frontier for peatland restoration, agroforestry, and low-carbon transition, while hosting national strategic projects (PSN) such as Lake Toba Tourism Super Priority Destination and Kuala Tanjung Industrial Hub.

2. Administrative & Cluster Baseline (WISE)

CO₂ Equivalent Avoided: ~11–13 million tons/year → equal to >30M carbon credits annually.
Land Impact: >2M hectares under peatland + agroforestry restoration linked to clusters.
Social Impact: ~250,000 green jobs (waste, agroforestry, biomass, energy).

3. Sectoral Linkages

Agriculture & Food Estate: Integration in North Sumatra (Humbang Hasundutan Food Estate, ~30,000 ha). WISE clusters provide biomass energy + compost.
Peatland Restoration: Jambi & South Sumatra targeted for >1M ha restoration, linked with RDF carbon crediting.
Agroforestry: West Sumatra and Bengkulu uplands, promoting mixed crops + carbon farming.
Waste-to-Energy (WtE): Palembang, Medan, Banda Aceh anchor C50 hubs.
Biomass: Palm oil waste, rubber wood, and rice husk integrated with RDF clusters.

4. Economic Context

GDP (PPP): Sumatra ≈ US$ 330B (2024 est.), ~20% of Indonesia.
Trade Balance: Strong surplus from palm oil, coal, rubber, tin. Key ports: Belawan, Dumai, Palembang, Batam.
Tourism PSN: Lake Toba, Belitung Geopark, Mandeh Bay.

5. Strategic Fit with BILD

BILD integrates finance + infrastructure delivery:

Capitalize carbon credits → ESG financing streams.
Channel investment into PSN areas → industrial zones, tourism, and agroforestry.
Anchor livelihoods via circular economy jobs and green value chains.

This positions BILD Sumatra as both a green industrial backbone and a livelihood accelerator, with clear ESG metrics, bankable pathways (carbon + waste), and alignment with national PSN priorities.
